Gymnastics associations worldwide are collaborating to share training methods, judging standards, and athlete safety practices. International partnerships are helping developing nations improve their programs and compete at higher levels.
At the World Challenge Cup held in Varna in May 2025, Nola Matthews of the U.S. emerged as the only gymnast to win more than one gold medal. Other notable performers included Ruby Stacey (Great Britain), Eddie Penev (Bulgaria), and Adem Asil (Türkiye), each securing multiple medals.
From Europe to Africa, youth gymnastics programs are expanding. Associations are introducing school-based and community initiatives to make the sport accessible, nurturing the next generation of gymnasts.
Governments and sports bodies are investing in modern gymnastics centers. These facilities support elite training, host international events, and inspire youth to pursue gymnastics.
Global coaching exchanges are raising standards across all levels. Coaches gain international experience through training camps and FIG programs, improving athlete performance worldwide.
